I'll just add that as a black person, yeah, um... I get the "joke". Joke's not funny. Just like offering me fried chicken and watermelon as a "joke" isn't funny, or calling me an "oreo" isn't funny, or "jokingly" saying that my hair looks like pubes or Brillo pads isn't funny. In fact, I might even go so far as to say such jokes are not only not funny, they are racist.
